This and Franco kernel equals pure awesomeness. Truth :)

You're just in time for their promotion. Free bumper with purchase.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Doubt I'll be running Franco :x
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Still waiting for the bank to clear :(

3-4 days.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Well, im sure the promotion would still be up :)

Lol. You should give it a try at least once. The latest nightlies have been amazing.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
I only rum kernels that are included in the ROMs. What's so special about it?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Oh. Each kernel is special. I just find that Franco's kernel gives me better smoothness and battery life at the same time. It doesn't even get hot now :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Cool, well you know you could get off you lazy butt and help improve the kernel source that's in this ROM if you feel it's not working out for ya... Truth :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] yankeeornovember:
+1 this. I thought it was only specific to trying to open camera from within Whatsapp to take a picture and send it rather than sending one directly from gallery or the camera app, but had been getting it randomly, and then gallery would constantly force close until reboot.

Glad I'm not the only one seeing this: was happening on the last build too.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Took a picture fine. No fc. Try using the official gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

See my post above. Also, try a clean install if that doesn't work.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Very strange! No clue what's going on with some camera's. Guess I'll know next week when I install my own creation for the first time. And I'll test some various gapps while I'm at it...

But my gut tells me its something related to user error.

Thing is, if some people can't reproduce it there's nothing to be done about it...

For device specific issues don't tag or post directly at me, instead ask the good users of this ROM for help :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Very nice, hope I get the same results next week when I get the n4 :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
I had dirty flashed the other day and got the gallery fc issue once. I'm thinking its the dirty flashes that's causing issues.

Most of the time its safe to dirty flash, but I'm usually always a clean install kinda guy.

Was you doing work to the toolchain recently? Seems like I seen it in the sync.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dsmforlife92:
Your are crazy the kernel that comes with this ROM is crazy fast and I have never got 5 hours of screen time with Francos kernel.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah the 4.9.0 toolchain has the most active development going right now from gnu. The amount of daily changes are crazy. So I try to keep up with all their bug fixes and improvements lol. The 4.8.2 is slowing down a lot so that hardly ever needs updating anymore. And 4.7.4 which is what mako kernel uses unfortunately doesn't get updated anymore. I think gnu is done with it and considers it stable as can be now.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
Hey [MENTION=2394329]sparksco[/MENTION] would you mind to tell me how I can directly implement your kernel into my rassaber build so I can compile it directly into the ROM ?

It's very nice and surely an improvement over stock so I would like to implement it directly.

I have to fork the mako_kernel repo that's clear (fork because maybe I will try to play with some things) but witch configfiles have to be changed, so it wouldn't compile stock kernel and integrate it but yours ?

Don't hurry with it because I'm currently short of time, but if you find some time, it would be nice :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
Yeah I try to keep up with all your changes like I've said before in case I need to throw a build out there for us. ( can't wait till you get your mako ).

Also I would like to look into the AOKP ribbons just as an added feature. If at all possible. I'm still new to all this and it took me 3 days of file flipping to find where to change the amount of quick tiles in the source, so this ribbon thing will be a mountain to climb and hopefully I don't get discouraged.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheDarkDefender:
6hrs? Yowza!

Any specific kernel settings? And the kernel ?

My guess is you'd have to edit the manifests and change the target kernel (from stock) to point to sparksco's kernel github.

I'm getting great battery life along with the normal smoothness on the 6/2 build as well. Super solid build with no bugs that I can find. :beer:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dweekie:
I use banks gapps minimal and photosphere add on. I always dirty flash and FC almost always happens on the first picture. I delete the data to camera/gallery, boot to recovery, fix permissions, and reboot. This has always fixed the problem on every version of saber mod I've updated.........
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Alci1985:
So, does it will be fixed? I tried your ROM, performance is really great, but this looks a bit crappy in my opinion... :(.

Applying a different theme didn't helped...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dweekie:
It was voted earlier to be left as is, haha...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
No it's not changing. The majority of people like it the way it is anyways.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Teadious:
You'd have to choose a full black theme for it to not look like it does, but first think of, is it really that important? Do you use the dialer that much? Maybe it takes some getting used to
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pawan1993:
Hey [MENTION=2394329]sparksco[/MENTION] does RasSaber fork the toolchain from your SaberMod repo? If it does then the RasSaber repo hasn't seen any updates on the toolchain.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheDarkDefender:
Are you sure? I just checked and it was last updated 4 days ago with GCC 4.9.

Edit: the sabermod repo was updated 11 hours ago. Maybe give some time for sparksco to merge the changes,I guess

Sent from my Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
Make a local manifest to pull in the sabermod kernel and "remove project" to remove the one that the rom uses now. Also go into mako board config to point to sabermod kernel mk config file. Should be something like sabermod_mako_defconfig.mk or something like that.

edit: you probably have to change the board config to also build inline and delete the other stuff that links to a prebuilt kernel also.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Alci1985:
No, just all in black looks not good in my optinion. A different theme can't also be used here, because with different themes this black bars also appears (why than theming here allowed, when themes are not locking like intended?).

Yes, i use my smartphone also as a phone very often, so this is annoying for me personally... :(.

Can not understand, why the majority of the people should like this, in my opinion it's a break in default android theme / style and using other themes looks here crappy too... but okay, i accept this. Than i have to look for other ROM here, thank you guys anyways.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pawan1993:
Why not copy over the dialer.apk from another AOSP ROM?

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Not too familiar with git but if it's forked from his SaberMod toolchain would he have to merge it to RasSaber as well or would git pull the toolchain from his SaberMod repo when syncing the local repo?

Edit: A little research shows he'd have to fetch upstream to sync the RasSaber git with the SaberMod fork.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Alci1985:
I wanted to make a bug report first. But yes, i will try that next time...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheDarkDefender:
You cannot pull it with a sync unless he makes the changes in the repo. You can also add it manually, you might need to make a few extra changes , but i haven't tried that, so I'm not in a position to advise you on that.

Reply for your edit: exactly.

Sent from my Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] pawan1993:
Done an extra bit of research on that and done a git fetch on the appropriate git repo before you said that :L Oh well, I guess I could sync it clean. Will let you know how this goes though :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ScumDroid:
STS kernel that comes with the rom. NOOP scheduler, and Interactive gov. Location services and bluetooth = off. . Ive gotten almost 7 hours SOT with those same settings before, that was first charge cycle after clean flash.

Cheers :good:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Lownita:
I second that! I always was a fan of harsh kernel and sts kernel is very close to it. Mpdecision is great! Only thing I miss is prima Wi-Fi drivers. Perhaps I soon have the time to learn how to build the kernel with it.

Tapatalked from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheDarkDefender:
thanks, mpdecision turned on or off ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Martin_Ro:
AFAIK stock MPDecision...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gabx:
-1 for me. No need of it.

It will ask a lot of work for you. I tried once to implement Selinux on my box, and quickly gave up. Too much changes in configurations.

I am not afraid by malicious apps.

Regards,
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Well there's a couple of ways you can do it. You can compile it yourself if you know how or use the ones I compile. Either way you'll probably want to make a repo for the kernel in device/lge/mako-kernel you'll find there the kernel binary named "kernel". If you download my latest kernel which uses koush's any kernel extractor and extract the zImage you can rename that to kernel and replace it with the stock one. But you also might want to include the kernel modules in the ROM like I've done here:

https://github.com/SaberMod/android_vendor_sm/blob/sm-jb-mr1/products/sm_mako.mk#L33

The way SaberMod build system works is if you use the build scripts the kernel gets built into the ROM automatically, but if you don't use the build scripts the stock AOSP kernel gets used.

https://github.com/SaberMod/android_build/blob/sm-jb-mr1/tools/build-scripts/mako-kernel
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bentez2003:
Is the Kernel included in the latest rom 03.06 the most up to date version of STS we can install?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
The latest kernel on sourceforce is a little newer than the one in the ROM. Did you read the blog post on sourceforge?

BTW the link for that is in the OP
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] TheDarkDefender:
Oops. Sorry. No. Editing my post. . I assumed it was the usual.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
I pushed some new changes to github for the ROM. Don't know that I'll have time to build today cause I have a busy day ahead.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
Let me sync up and I can start a build.

I'm itching to flash something anyways
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Alright. I'd do a clean build cause I removed some optimizations that might have been causing some audio quality issues.

Also I'm going to be testing -O3 on a older toolchain later. If you want to test also and compare if it improves do this.

cd prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
Yeah I started a clean build already so no point in stopping it.

The only difference in the build I'm posting is it should have 5 rows of quick tiles rather than 3. If that poses an issue before I build again I'll change it back to 3. 5 just seemed like it worked since we have 10 stock quick tiles and I hate one or two having a row all to them selves.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gabx:
I will join to say I had the same. I often use camera starts from another app, Ingress. It has been working perfectly for a while. A few days ago, Camera + galery both FC. Now I can't start camera from this app. I get the camera app main window, but with black screen and all butons are unusable.

Starting camera on a stand alone gives same issue now.

Gallery is OK
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Camera and Gallery are the same app since jellybean...

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gabx:
Glad we did it. Very good news. I am sure you will enjoy.

Try CM 10.1, very good ROM : no bloats, fast and solid....:laugh:

WE CAN DO IT
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
Why wouldn't he try his own ROM? :silly:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Did you think of what you posted? Lol.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gabx:
So I do not know where the issue comes form, as it arrises with no apparent reasons.

When starting camera, error after 30 sec roughly : "can't connect to camera", then the galery app FC with message : Unfortunately galery has stopped"

logcat attached
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gabx:
I think Mr Toolchain knows the true answer
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
It's like the CEO of Coca Cola going to the store and drinking a Pepsi :D lol
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
[MENTION=2394329]sparksco[/MENTION]. If your ROM is using proprietary Gallery/Camera from Google, you might be missing liblightcyclce.so which is the proprietary lib for the Google Gallery. Could be the issue with people having fc's
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Interesting. The list of libs is in vendor/sm/products/sm_mako.mk if you want to have a look. Not much I can do for now until I get me nexus.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
i'll backup and flash your latest build and push the lib and see what happens. Just checked out the mk file. Looks like it could be the problem since the lib is not present.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
I would :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] :
[MENTION=2394329]sparksco[/MENTION]. Yep it was the problem lol. Missing liblightcycle.so was the issue.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
I'm getting some recompile with -Xlint: unchecked for details stuff and saying some files use or override a depreciated API.

I don't know wtf happened lol. So the build finished in terminal but never made my zip.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
There was a building error from one of the cm patches I pushed to frameworks/opt/telephony . I reverted it and it builds for grouped now.

You should be able to just sync and rebuild. No need to start clean again. Sorry man sometimes I don't have time to test build all the new changes.

I haven't built mako but it should build now.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Well look at this :) *peep the kernel*
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
Its all good man, that's what we are here for. I just didn't think anything was going wonky because it kept on building lol.

I won't get a chance to rebuild for a couple more days so...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Ah, yeah sometimes it builds for awhile passed the error and the error will be really far back or sometimes off the screen completely. Well when you do build again make sure you edit the kernel scripts cause STS kernel builds with gcc 4.8.2 now :D
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
OK thanks I'll add that in. Really strange. The official gapps on goo install the gallery but not the lib for it?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Difference is night and day with the new kernel ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
Yeah I'll have to remember about the kernel. Kinda has me anxious to build at least just the kernel tonight at bed time
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Kernel is up and available for downloading now. :cool:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Vangelis13:
Well done on the...

;):D:p:)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Don't have it yet :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Vangelis13:
Oh don't you worry, I'm a very patient man.. ;)

Joking aside, it'd be great if you could consider the option at some stage. :thumbup::)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Lol, I'm sure you are, I meant I don't have a n4 yet.

What ROM is this in?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] trillo69:
Don't worry you will have it soon, it's not if like you were being backordered like most of us when we bought the N4 on 1st and 2nd batch. That were very long days mate. :laugh:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Vangelis13:
What do you mean? :) Carlo has it in Rasbean & it's also on RasSaber. You can change the color of the nav keys and also the transparency (call it maybe "brightness" of the keys if you wish)..

P.S. prepare yourself to be awed. The n4 is the best phone ever made!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Ah yeah we discussed this before right? About the navigation bar and theme chooser?

I'm sure I will, can't wait to get the saber on it ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
You mean like when I ordered my nexus 7 right after it launched ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Vangelis13:
Oui. Theme chooser isn't quite the same though, a theme will never brighten it up like you can with that feature.

Oh well, up to you. It'd be great. ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Can anyone check when unlocking it only shows it unlocking towards the right?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Well the lock icon is on the right so that makes sense.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
But it should unlock towards the way I unlock.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
It still unlocks. It only highlights the lock icon once you reach the outter edge of the circle.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Yeah I know it still unlocks :p but still..Need to check once I'm home.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] forz.A:
I agree - really limited options in them, though the main issue is the lack of transparency (brightness). Either way, though...up to sparksco.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] strapped365:
Yeah once you get to the top of the ring it just highlights the unlock button. O could have swore I was tripping the first time it happened.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Honestly since I'm left handed I always swype to the right, and didn't even notice it til jarjar124 pointed it out. Kinda weird cause I don't think it was doing that before. But as far as I know no changes have been added recently to the lockscreen. Will have to check later on and see what's going on...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
I'm on it as well :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Well I checked shortcuts and those seem to be working fine and gets highlighted. So weird. At least it's not causing any major issues though it looks weird.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Yeah that's the only thing to fix it right now. I don't have shortcuts :P
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Right, so maybe the shortcuts commits got messed up when I revised the frameworks/base. I'll compare them with cm's commits later and see if it's right. Or you can if you want to. The dogs need walked.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
You have dogs? Lucky. I want one. What kind of breed? I'm syncing right now. Internet being slow
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
A chiwawa and a cocker spaniel. Syncing to what? There hasn't been much changes unless the toolchain is updating. Don't forget to do the toolchain trick to build with -O3 after each sync.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Nice. Finished syncing. I will

Need to take shower
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Well I found the cause of the lock screen bug was because I forgot a patch when I did the rebase of frameworks/base. I'll push to github now and try to get a new build up tomorrow with -O3 and the latest gcc 4.8 kernel included. I'm still curious though if anyone has tried the kernel yet and if the difference is really noticeable.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
It is :) noticable in scrolling and gaming
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sparksco:
Yeah I know you were the first one to get it :)

But no one else has been like "wow huge improvement". But yeah I noticed improvement with gcc4.8 even on my nexus 7 when I started using it :)

Well this patch fixes the lockscreen (hopefully).

Thanks to all the people that have verified. I'll do more testing next week as well when I have the n4 in hand. But I trust what most of ya'll report :)

One thing is for sure, gcc4.8.2 is a huge improvement on the gcc side of development, so there's no way things can be worse or not improved at least a little.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] -viper-:
It is smoother all the way sparksco... First noticed it To xda app... When u get ur n4 u'll understand it..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bentez2003:
The new kernel sounds good, downloading now. What governor are people using with it?

Also is the patch mentioned earlier for the 03.06 build?

Really glad you got your N4 ordered Sparksco! can't wait to see what you can do when you own the device.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] PacifistRiot:
[MENTION=2394329]sparksco[/MENTION] or whoever else knows. This rom advertises features like Linaro, GCC 4.9, -O3, strict aliasing, etc. To the end user on JB, do these really make a difference? If they do make a difference are there any objective benchmarks to prove it? Or do these features only impact the speed at which android compiles with no impact on the end user?
